It's not only old plumbers who don't like it.It's like the old plumbers don't like push fit or plastic

I love plastic plumbing, but not the way people treat it like a hose pipe and botch the job.
Your money, your rules?I told him I wanted it doing in copper and Yorkshires, but he said no-one does it that way any more
Fill yer bootsMy OCD likes orderly lines.
I know! But Mrs S was getting frantic about the job dragging on so long so everything went out of the window.....Your money, your rules?
I had a 11'x7' flat roof replaced 10 years ago, new chipboard decking 8'x4' T&G boards and EPDM. I expected them to be laid across the joists with the single join on a joist. But no they laid them along the joists with neither join supported. I was up there last summer to get to the stack and there are 2 gulleys.I know! But Mrs S was getting frantic about the job dragging on so long so everything went out of the window.....
If it was down to me, I'd have sacked the roofer and told the plumber to do it the way I wanted it done. Even the guy who laid the chip floor was carp. He laid it so that the short sides were not on the joists. And he told me he had done that job hundreds of times before! Either a b-sh1tter or a lot of dodgy jobs.

Other colours or just plain copper are available.
But seriously - a stock and die set doesn't cost much.
So far but I have plans to redo it soon.Wow. And I guess it's still OK?
Hmmmm.What I'd measured up to do and purchased boards for was this: .... What I got was this:
That's what they tried to tell me. They also tried to convince me the joins are better their way than running across the joists.However, with T&G boards it's a bit different - and I suppose that if the tongues and grooves were strong enough, it would effectively be just one single big sheet, hence 'OK'?
Kind Regards, John
